lovebird doing weird head/neck thing (VIDEO INCLUDED)

[christine]

Hey everyone,

Wondering what you guys think about my lovebird. Its doing this weird thing--backing its head into its neck like something is stuck in his throat or a feather that's bothering him. What do you think?

Is he itchy or trying to preen? My conures do that from time to time, usually right before they start preening themselves. Maybe he's got an itch he just can't reach or something.

Thats what I'm hoping, but sometimes it looks like he is trying to vomit instead....

He looks fine to me! It looks like he's trying to preen the neck and chest feathers. That's nothing unusual at all.

OK thanks everyone!

Nothing unusual at all he is just trying to preen his chest and neck areas. Very pretty bird.
